docs: rewrite PR #10 description to drop unfalsifiable metric claims

Auditor correctly flagged the '3 → 6' score claim as unbacked by diff
(consensus: 3/3 not-backed). The claim referenced scrum_reviews.jsonl —
an external metric file — which the auditor cannot verify against
source changes alone. Rewrote the PR body to only claim what's
directly verifiable from the diff (committed tests, committed code
paths, committed startup logging). Trajectory data remains in
docs/SCRUM_LOOP_NOTES.md for historical reference but is no longer
asserted as fact in the PR body.

+//
+// The mem0 insight: raw rows are CHEAP and tell the full story, but
+// downstream prompts need a DEFINITION, not a log. A definition is
+// the aggregate: "this signature has fired N times across M distinct
+// scopes, first_seen=X, last_seen=Y, confidence=M/N."
+//
+// This library is the single shared aggregator. Every KB writer keeps
+// appending raw rows; every KB reader uses aggregate() instead of
+// tailing the raw stream. No second file to sync, no ADD/UPDATE/NOOP
+// routing — the stats roll up from the raw rows every time.
+//
+// Why this works past hundreds of runs:
+//   - aggregate() is bounded by distinct_signatures, not total_rows.
+//   - confidence = distinct_scopes / count — low for same-scope noise,
+//     high for cross-scope patterns. Downstream severity ramps on
+//     confidence × count, not raw count, so one unfixed PR can't
+//     inflate its own recurrence score (the classic mem0 failure).

+# Auditor Context — project preamble for fact extraction
+
+This file is read by `auditor/fact_extractor.ts` and prepended to the
+extract-facts prompt sent to llm_team. The goal: give the extractor +
+verifier enough grounding to ground domain-specific facts instead of
+marking them UNVERIFIABLE by default.
+
+Keep this short (< 400 words). Verifier only reads the first ~4KB of
+the prompt alongside the facts. Longer = noise, not signal.
+
+Update when: a new Phase lands, a crate is added/removed, the project's
+primary domain shifts (e.g. staffing → DevOps).
+
+---
+
+## What Lakehouse is
+
+Lakehouse is a Rust-first data platform over S3-compatible object
+storage. Primary use: a staffing company ingesting legacy CRM data for
+AI-powered worker matching, contract fulfillment, and playbook-driven
+coordination.
+
+Architecture: 13 Rust crates + a Python sidecar (Ollama) + TypeScript
+sub-agents (auditor, scrum_master, bot). Runs on a single server
+(Nvidia A4000, 128GB RAM). All services on localhost: gateway :3100,
+sidecar :3200, UI :3300, MCP :3700, observer :3800, MinIO :9000.
+
+## Key crates (each maps to a responsibility)
+
+- **shared** — types, Arrow helpers, PII utilities, SecretsProvider
+- **proto** — gRPC definitions
+- **storaged** — S3/MinIO I/O, AppendLog, ErrorJournal
+- **catalogd** — metadata authority (manifests, views, tombstones)
+- **queryd** — DataFusion SQL, MemTable cache, compaction
+- **ingestd** — CSV/JSON/PDF/Postgres/MySQL ingest
+- **vectord** — embeddings, HNSW index, **playbook_memory meta-index** (Phase 19+)
+- **vectord-lance** — Lance 4.0 firewall crate (separate Arrow version)
+- **journald** — append-only mutation event log
+- **aibridge** — Rust↔Python sidecar bridge, context budget + continuation
+- **gateway** — Axum HTTP :3100 + gRPC :3101 (Phase 38+ adds /v1/chat)
+- **ui** — Dioxus WASM (stale, pre-Phase-9)
+- **lance-bench** — standalone benchmark
+
+## Current architectural direction (Phase 38-44)
+
+Universal AI Control Plane: a `/v1/chat` OpenAI-compatible API that
+routes all LLM traffic through one layer for token accounting + provider
+fallback. Truth Layer + Validation Pipeline enforce staffing-domain
+invariants (worker eligibility, PII, contract rules). The Auditor
+(Phase A of cohesion plan) hard-blocks PR merges on placeholder code.
+
+## Auditor sub-agent role
+
+`auditor/` (TypeScript, Bun runtime) polls Gitea every 90s for open PRs.
+For each fresh head SHA it runs 4 checks in parallel: static (grep-style
+placeholder detection), dynamic (runs the hybrid fixture), inference
+(gpt-oss:120b cloud review with N=3 consensus + qwen3-coder:480b
+tie-breaker), and kb_query (reads `data/_kb/*.jsonl` for prior evidence).
+Verdicts post to Gitea as commit status + review comment. Findings
+append to `data/_kb/audit_lessons.jsonl` (path-agnostic signatures for
+dedup). Curated scratchpads from tree-split get routed through this
+extract-facts pipeline to populate `audit_facts.jsonl` — which is what
+you (the extractor) are currently producing.
+
+## Things that are NOT the auditor
+
+- The LLM Team UI at `/root/llm_team_ui.py` (devop.live:5000) — a separate product for human-facing multi-model experimentation
+- The scrum_master pipeline at `tests/real-world/scrum_master_pipeline.ts` — reviews files, not claims
+- The bot at `bot/` — will apply fixes, doesn't audit

+# Scrum Fix Wave — Phase-Sweep 2026-04-23
+
+**Purpose:** Direct the scrum-master pipeline at concrete findings from the Phase 0→42 audit sweep, not at the high-level vision alone. Findings live in `data/_kb/phase_sweep_findings.jsonl` (19 items).
+
+## What the auditor expects you to produce per file
+
+For each file the scrum sees: concrete code-level suggestions that close the listed findings. Not rewrites for style. Not vision drift. Land the invariant or admit the checkbox was premature.
+
+## Meta-pattern to fix (read this first)
+
+The sweep surfaced **one root cause repeated across 5 phases**: primitives exist, cross-cutting enforcement doesn't. Auth, journal, access control, truth rules — the machinery is built, nothing calls it from the actual request path.
+
+One PR-cluster retires the pattern:
+1. **Identity.** Auth middleware wires X-API-Key → extension `AgentIdentity { name, role, api_key_hash }`. (P5-001)
+2. **Request pipeline.** `/query/sql` and `/tools/*/call` read `AgentIdentity`, pass into queryd + tools handlers.
+3. **Access enforcement.** Handlers call `access.can_access()` / `masked_columns()` before returning data; log via `access.log_query()`. (P13-001)
+4. **Mutation journaling.** Every ingest / delta-write / tombstone-add / catalog-register calls the corresponding `journal.record_*`. (P9-001)
+5. **Truth enforcement.** `TruthStore::check()` rewritten to `evaluate(task_class, ctx) -> Vec<RuleOutcome>`, actually walking `RuleCondition` against context. (P42-001, P42-002)
+
+After this cluster lands, Phases 5, 9, 13, 42 become "truly shipped" rather than "machinery shipped."
+
+## Findings by severity
+
+### 🔴 High
+
+- **P9-001** `journald/src/journal.rs`, `crates/gateway/src/main.rs`, all mutation sites. Journal has zero internal callers. Every `ingestd::service::upload_file` success, every `queryd::delta::write_delta`, every `catalogd::tombstones::add`, every `catalogd::registry::register` should emit a journal event. Plus fix: `event_counter` resets on process restart — seed from max existing `event_id` on rebuild or switch to UUID v7.
+- **P13-001** `crates/gateway/src/main.rs` + `crates/queryd/src/service.rs` + `crates/gateway/src/tools/service.rs`. `AccessControl.can_access` / `masked_columns` / `log_query` have zero callers. Query path ignores role. Phase 17's `profile_scoped_search` (service.rs:1641) is the template — copy that shape.
+- **P42-001** `crates/truth/src/lib.rs:56`. `TruthStore::check(task_class)` ignores `RuleCondition` entirely. Signature needs `evaluate(task_class, ctx: &serde_json::Value) -> Vec<RuleOutcome>` that actually walks conditions. Update all 14 tests to exercise fail/pass semantics, not just storage.
+
+### 🟡 Medium
+
+- **P5-001** `crates/gateway/src/auth.rs` + `crates/gateway/src/main.rs:222-233`. `api_key_auth` is `#[allow(dead_code)]`. Wire with `axum::middleware::from_fn_with_state(api_key, auth::api_key_auth)` on protected routes. `/health` stays public.
+- **P10-001** Legacy datasets (including `candidates`, 2.47M rows) have no PII flags. Add `POST /catalog/resync-metadata` mirroring `/catalog/resync-missing`.
+- **P14-001** `crates/ingestd/src/schema_evolution.rs`. Module has 5 passing tests and zero callers. Add `POST /catalog/datasets/by-name/{name}/schema-diff`. When ADR-020 `register()` returns 409, include a `migration_rules[]` body.
+- **P20-001** `config/models.json` is spec-only — never loaded by Rust. Load into `shared::model_matrix::ModelMatrix` at startup; delegate `aibridge::context::context_window_for` to matrix.
+- **P21-001** `generate_continuable` has one prod caller (`rag.rs:171`). Audit every `ai_client.generate()` site. Convert the truncation-prone + thinking-empty-prone sites (auditor paths, reranker, autotune) to `generate_continuable`.
+- **P39-001** `ProviderAdapter` trait + adapters ship, zero callers. `/v1/chat` in `v1/mod.rs:152` uses hardcoded `match req.provider`. Replace with adapter dispatch.
+- **P40-001** `config/routing.toml` is spec-only. `RoutingEngine::new` has no callers. Add `RoutingEngine::from_toml(path)`; `V1State` carries `routing: Arc<RoutingEngine>`; `/v1/chat` consults it before provider match.
+- **P42-002** Truth has no enforcement site. `/v1/chat` or execution_loop should call `truth.evaluate(task_class, ctx)` post-response.
+
+### 🟢 Low
+
+- **P1-001** `crates/storaged/src/federation_service.rs:34-35`. Bucket-qualified routes wire only PUT + GET. Add DELETE + LIST on `/buckets/{bucket}/objects/{*key}`.
+- **P4-001** UI deploy stale. Either rebuild (`just ui-build` + restart `lakehouse-ui.service`) or amend `PHASES.md` to note pre-Phase-9 drift.
+- **P7-001** `vectord::index_registry`. Orphan index registrations (parquet deleted) still list in `/vectors/indexes`. Add a startup sweep + `POST /vectors/resync-missing`.
+- **P12-001** `crates/gateway/src/tools/service.rs`. Audit row has `row_count=null`. Propagate `QueryResponse.row_count` + add `latency_ms`.
+- **P20-002** `crates/gateway/src/v1/mod.rs`. No model-prefix auto-routing. Caller must set `provider` explicitly. Tie to P39-001 + P40-001 fix.
+- **P21-002** `crates/aibridge/src/context.rs`. `context_window_for` hardcoded HashMap duplicates `config/models.json`. Delegate once P20-001 lands.
+- **P38-001** `crates/gateway/src/execution_loop/mod.rs:1523`. Test `executor_prompt_includes_surfaced_candidates` fails on "W-1 Alice Smith" assertion. Either update prompt formatter or update test.
+- **P40-002** Cost gating absent. Add `cost_ceiling_usd_per_hour` to `RoutingEngine` rule, pre-request check against `Usage.by_provider`.
+
+## What "done" looks like for each file the scrum touches
+
+- Name the specific finding(s) the file participates in.
+- Show code-level diff (minimum: function signature + first 5 lines of body) for the fix.
+- Call out any test that needs updating + one new test that would catch the bug on reintroduction.
+- Flag if the fix is too big for one PR and should be split (most of the cross-cutting cluster wants a shared identity/middleware PR first, per-service PRs after).
+
+## Out of scope for this wave
+
+- New features beyond what the findings describe.
+- UI work (Phase 4 stale is known).
+- DevOps / long-horizon domain work (Terraform/Ansible — Phase 43+).

+---
+
+You are acting as an adversarial **Scrum Master + Systems Auditor**.
+
+Your job is to **prove whether this system actually works**, not to describe it.
+
+You are auditing a system with the following architecture:
+
+- AI Gateway with per-model adapters
+- Output normalization + schema validation layer
+- Execution pipeline (Terraform / Ansible / shell)
+- Task-scoped execution memory (S3 + Apache Arrow/Parquet)
+- Relevance orchestration (context filtering, freshness validation, fact extraction)
+- Local → Cloud fallback loop for failed tasks
+- Iterative repair loop with stored execution evidence
+
+---
+
+## PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
+
+Determine if the system is:
+
+1. Executable (real, not pseudocode)
+2. Aligned with PRD contracts
+3. Deterministic enough to trust
+4. Protected from model output drift
+5. Actually closing the loop (fail → repair → reuse)
+
+---
+
+## NON-NEGOTIABLE RULES
+
+- Do NOT summarize
+- Do NOT explain architecture unless tied to failure
+- Do NOT assume code works — verify
+- Every claim MUST reference files, functions, or execution evidence
+- If something is unclear → mark as FAIL
+
+---
+
+## AUDIT PASSES (RUN ALL)
+
+### 1. PSEUDOCODE / FAKE IMPLEMENTATION DETECTION
+Find any:
+- TODO / stub / placeholder
+- hardcoded outputs where AI should decide
+- mocked execution paths
+- fake success returns
+
+Output exact file + line references.
+
+### 2. PRD CONTRACT VALIDATION
+Verify implementation exists for:
+
+- Gateway routing logic
+- Per-model adapters
+- Output normalization (strip, parse, canonicalize)
+- Schema validation layer
+- Repair loop (retry with modification)
+- Raw output storage
+- Execution memory persistence
+- Retrieval based on prior failures
+- Relevance filtering (freshness / protocol awareness)
+- Execution permission gate
+
+For each component:
+- status: implemented | partial | missing
+- include file references
+
+### 3. NORMALIZATION + VALIDATION PIPELINE
+Prove that:
+
+- Raw model output is NEVER executed directly
+- JSON extraction is enforced
+- Unknown fields are rejected or handled
+- Schema validation blocks bad output
+- Repair loop triggers on failure
+
+If any path bypasses validation → FAIL
+
+### 4. FAILURE → CLOUD → REPAIR LOOP
+Trace the loop:
+
+- Local model fails
+- Failure is classified
+- Context is packaged
+- Cloud model returns corrective instruction
+- Local model retries
+- Result is validated
+- Successful pattern is stored
+
+If any step is missing or non-deterministic → FAIL
+
+### 5. EXECUTION MEMORY (S3 / ARROW)
+Verify:
+
+- Raw runs are stored (input, raw output, normalized output)
+- Failures are recorded with signatures
+- Successful retries are recorded
+- Retrieval pulls based on:
+  - task similarity
+  - failure signature
+  - execution success history
+
+If memory is only logs and not reused → FAIL
+
+### 6. RELEVANCE ORCHESTRATION
+Verify:
+
+- Context is filtered before model input
+- Freshness or version awareness exists
+- Fact extraction reduces noise
+- Context inclusion is explainable
+
+If system blindly injects context → FAIL
+
+### 7. EXECUTION SAFETY
+Verify:
+
+- No shell / terraform / ansible execution without validation gate
+- No direct model-to-command execution
+- Clear permission boundary exists
+
+If AI can execute commands unchecked → CRITICAL FAIL
+
+### 8. TESTING + EVIDENCE
+Find:
+
+- real tests (not mocks)
+- execution logs
+- validation results
+- success/failure traces
+
+If no proof of execution → FAIL
+
+---
+
+## OUTPUT FORMAT (STRICT)
+
+Each finding in any array MUST include a `confidence` field (integer 0–100). The confidence represents your self-assessed probability that the finding is correct and actionable. Low confidence is valuable — do not inflate. A finding with confidence < 50 is still recorded (it signals investigation needed) but downstream consumers will weight it less.
+
+```json
+{
+  "verdict": "pass | fail | needs_patch",
+  "critical_failures": [
+    {"id": "CF-1", "file": "path:line", "description": "...", "confidence": 95}
+  ],
+  "pseudocode_flags": [
+    {"file": "path:line", "reason": "...", "confidence": 88}

+  },
+  "required_next_actions": [
+    {"action": "...", "file_hint": "...", "confidence": 75}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Calibration guide:**
+- 90–100: pattern seen repeatedly in shipped code; mechanical; low regression risk
+- 70–89: confident in direction, API shape or naming may vary
+- 50–69: plausible fix but may not match conventions, could cascade
+- <50: genuinely uncertain — record anyway so downstream knows to investigate

+## FINAL DIRECTIVE
+
+You are not reviewing code.
+
+You are answering:

+# Scrum Loop Notes — Observations across iterations
+
+Running notes from the 6x scrum loop (started 2026-04-23). One section per iteration. "Fix next loop" items accumulate here so the next scrum run picks them up — do not fix inline during a running iteration.
+

+
+## Iteration 1 — in flight
+
+**Target files:** 21 source files extracted from the 19 Phase 0→42 findings.
+**Ladder:** cloud-first per feedback_scrum_cloud_first.md (gpt-oss:120b → qwen3.5:397b → devstral-2:123b → mistral-large-3:675b → gpt-oss:20b → qwen3.5:latest).
+**Proposal:** `docs/SCRUM_FIX_WAVE.md` (via LH_SCRUM_PROPOSAL env).
+
+### Fix next loop — observations accumulating
+
+*Add items here as the scrum runs. Keep each item to one line with a pointer to file + reason. Don't fix inline.*
+
+**[ITER 2 OBSERVATIONS]**
+- **[FORENSIC vs thin-detector mismatch]** iter 2 first attempt on auth.rs triggered "thin/unstructured" rejection at 2031 chars. Cause: forensic prompt asks for strict JSON verdict output, scrum's thin-answer detector expects markdown with score + table. The detector logic needs a forensic-aware branch OR the forensic prompt should preserve markdown output shape while still applying the 8 audit passes. File: `tests/real-world/scrum_master_pipeline.ts`, function that scores accepted vs thin. Fix next loop: add `isForensicAcceptable(text)` that checks for `"verdict"` field + at least one of `critical_failures`/`pseudocode_flags`/`required_next_actions`.
+
+- **[OBSERVATION metric]** 11 `#[allow(dead_code)]` markers cluster in crates/gateway/{auth,access,tools/registry,execution_loop,v1/truth} + crates/aibridge/providers/openrouter + crates/vectord/service. Each one maps cleanly to an audit finding. The `execution_loop/mod.rs:85` comment even admits it: `// reserved for Phase 42 truth-gate (step 6)`. **Metric:** fewer `#[allow(dead_code)]` markers per iteration = less pseudo-real code. Baseline = 11. Target after iter 6: ≤ 2 (only ones that are genuinely optional helpers).
+- **[OBSERVATION gateway-as-router]** scrum_master_pipeline currently fetches `GATEWAY/v1/chat` directly but its LADDER is still a hardcoded const. Should be driven by `config/routing.toml` via RoutingEngine (blocked by P40-001 until iter 1 lands fix). File: `tests/real-world/scrum_master_pipeline.ts:53`.
+- **[OBSERVATION file-type]** iter 1 target list is `.rs` only. Iter 2 must include `tests/multi-agent/*.ts` (executor, observer, kb consumer), `auditor/checks/*.ts`, `sidecar/sidecar/*.py`, and `config/*.{json,toml}`. The scrum pipeline handles any text file.
+- **[OBSERVATION triangulation]** auth.rs scrum review (first file out) independently identified P5-001 exactly: flagged `#[allow(dead_code)]`, scored alignment 4/10, prescribed an `AgentIdentity { name, role, hashed_key }` type matching SCRUM_FIX_WAVE. Audit + scrum converged without seeing each other's output — strong signal the findings are real, not artifacts of one method.
+- **[RULE from J 2026-04-23]** Wiring-gap fixes happen AFTER the scrum completes, not inline. Accumulate observations, apply in one coherent pass. Matches feedback_audit_findings_log.md.
+- **[OBSERVATION oversize-file]** `crates/gateway/src/execution_loop/mod.rs` is 80,901 chars → 24 shards (scrum pipeline's tree-split kicks in at 6KB threshold). A single-file-of-this-size for an execution module is itself a smell — it's the Phase 43 scaffold we kept piling into. Split candidates: executor prompts, reviewer prompts, budget accounting, truth-gate hook, fixtures. Not a fix for this iter, but queue for iter 3.
+- **[OBSERVATION cost-tracking]** zero escalations across first 8 files — 0.0 dollar cloud spend above the minimum. Per-request cost on gpt-oss:120b via Ollama Cloud is effectively $0 in this environment (self-hosted or flat-rate per the llm_team_config key). If we add per-iter token totals to scrum_loop_metrics.jsonl we can show trajectory even when cost is flat.
+
+**[ITER 3 OBSERVATIONS]**
+- **[LARGE-HANDLER thin]** kimi-k2:1t went thin on `crates/gateway/src/tools/service.rs` (~11KB, single large axum handler). deepseek-v3.1:671b rescued on attempt 2 (92.8s, 5408 chars, accepted). Pattern: very large routing files challenge even 1T models. Fix next loop: raise tree-split threshold for handler files OR shard by function boundaries not byte count.
+- **[WRITE-ONLY INDICATORS STILL]** 8 KB files write-only after iter 3: `audits.jsonl` (189 rows/1.9MB — biggest waste), `phase_sweep_findings.jsonl` (35), `distilled_facts.jsonl` (17), `human_overrides.jsonl` (8), `classifications.jsonl` (5), `scrum_loop_metrics.jsonl` (2), `distilled_config_hints.jsonl` (2), `distilled_procedures.jsonl` (2). Fix next loop: extend `auditor/checks/kb_query.ts` to surface these on PR review, OR build a single "KB health dashboard" reader.
+- **[ISOLATED AUTOTUNE]** `crates/vectord/src/agent.rs` has zero refs to scrum/audit/human_override KB. It tunes HNSW but doesn't know which indexes are attached to files the scrum flagged. Fix next loop: add `TriggerEvent::CodeReviewFlag { index_name, gradient_tier }` that biases trial budget toward indexes of flagged files.
+- **[CONFIDENCE WELL-CALIBRATED]** kimi-k2:1t confidences span 75-98 across iter3 files, cluster 85-95. No 100% inflation; min 75 = honest edge-case uncertainty. Good signal — the model is calibrating, not performance-signaling. Do NOT "fix" this by prompt-boosting confidence.
+- **[SCRUM→OBSERVER WIRED]** 2026-04-24 fix landed in iter-3 source but applies to iter 4+ (bun loaded code pre-edit). Verify next loop: `curl :3800/stats` should show `by_source.scrum > 0` after iter 4 runs. If zero, observer /event payload schema mismatch.
+- **[LOW-CONFIDENCE BLOCK flag WORKING]** `crates/storaged/src/federation_service.rs` scored 3/10 with confidences **[40, 35, 50]** → avg 42, min 35. Permission Gradient correctly classifies this file as `block` tier (min <50) — exactly the signal we want. kimi-k2:1t is honestly saying "I'm not confident about these suggestions." Human must review before any auto-apply. Validates Layer #6 working end-to-end. **DO NOT fix this** — it's the system protecting us.
+- **[CONFIDENCE-COLUMN DROPOUT]** `crates/gateway/src/main.rs` accepted review has 0 confidences extracted despite the prompt requiring them. Either kimi-k2:1t omitted the Confidence column in its table format (regex didn't match), or the specific content ran into token budget and confidence got trimmed. Fix next loop: strengthen the prompt instruction to say "if you omit the Confidence column you MUST provide Confidence: NN% inline after every suggestion" AND post-accept sanity-check the row (reject if findings_count=0 across 5+ suggestions).
+- **[SCORE-PARSER MISS on some files]** `crates/queryd/src/service.rs` and `crates/queryd/src/delta.rs` reviews return score='?' — regex `(\d)\s*/\s*10` isn't matching. Models may have written score as "Score: 4.5/10" or "4/10 (mid)" which the parser can't see. Fix next loop: regex accepts decimals + surrounding context. Not critical — confidences still landed.
+- **[SCORE DISTRIBUTION]** across 12 iter-3 files: 3/10 (7 files), 4/10 (2), 6/10 (1), ?/? (2). vectord/index_registry.rs alone scored 6/10 — meaningfully higher. That's worth a closer look: what does that file do right? If we find the pattern there and replicate to peers, scores should rise. This is learning-loop signal.
+
+- **[FORENSIC JSON OUTPUT IS RICHER THAN MARKDOWN]** kimi-k2:1t emitted strict JSON-schema output (matching SCRUM_FORENSIC_PROMPT.md) for `vectord/src/index_registry.rs`. Structure separates critical_failures / pseudocode_flags / prd_mismatches / broken_pipelines / missing_components / risk_points / **verified_components** / required_next_actions — each with confidence per entry. Markdown reviews never captured `verified_components` (what's confirmed working). Fix next loop: scrum pipeline detects JSON format in accepted output and extracts structured fields into KB row (`verified_components_count`, `critical_failures_count`, `missing_components_count`, `verdict`). Downstream consumers then filter PR files by `verdict: needs_patch` or prioritize by `missing_components_count`. **This is the biggest next-iter KB quality jump available** — goes from "confidence as a scalar" to "confidence per specific claim with evidence field." Verified_components in particular is the PROOF-OF-LIFE signal that tells us what's real — flipside of P9/P13/P42 gaps.
+
+- **[🔴 TREE-SPLIT REVIEW SHARD-LEAKAGE]** `ingestd/src/service.rs` (7 shards, 24.3KB) accepted output is titled "Forensic Audit Report – ... (shard 3)". The review covers only the Postgres-import path (shard 3). The `ingest_file` handler where my P9-001 fix lives (journal.record_ingest call) is in shard 1 or 2 — that reviewer never saw the fix. **`tree_split_fired: true` is supposed to mean the output is the reducer-merged summary of all shards**, but this review retained shard-specific scope. Either (a) the reduce step didn't integrate shard summaries, (b) the accepted attempt was one individual shard response that slipped past the reducer, or (c) the reducer prompt doesn't instruct the model to present the file holistically. **This is a real correctness bug** — it means file-level findings can be ghost-negative (fix applied, reviewer blind to it) and ghost-positive (gap exists in unreviewed shard, reviewer gives clean bill). Fix next loop: examine the reduce-step prompt in tree-split path, ensure accepted output comes from reduce step not from any individual shard. Validate by running on a file with a known fix and confirming the review notices it.
+
+**[ITER 4 OBSERVATIONS]**
+- **[🔴 OBSERVER DROPS SCRUM RICH FIELDS]** Scrum→observer wiring works (by_source.scrum appears in /stats on iter 4 file 1). BUT observer.ts:262-283 `ObservedOp = {...}` literal only spreads known keys (endpoint, success, duration_ms, role, city, state, count, rescue_*). My scrum-specific fields (confidence_avg, confidence_min, gradient_tier, verdict, critical_failures_count, verified_components_count, missing_components_count, alignment_score, output_format, findings_count, attempts_made, thin_rejections) are silently discarded. Observer knows the scrum event happened but loses review-quality data. Fix next loop: add `metadata?: Record<string, any>` passthrough on ObservedOp, or declare scrum-specific fields explicitly. Preferred: metadata passthrough so future sources (auditor, kb_extractor) land the same way.
+- **[SCHEMA V4 LANDING CORRECTLY]** main.rs iter-4 KB row has alignment_score=3 (decimal parser fixed), output_format="markdown" (classifier works), verdict=null (correct — only forensic_json produces verdict), confidence_avg=91 (previous iter got 0 due to column dropout — run-to-run variance self-healed this). Structured counters (critical/verified/missing) = 0 on markdown rows, populated on forensic_json rows.
+- **[RING BUFFER EVICTING LANGFUSE]** observer ring hit 2000 cap; first 2 scrum events pushed 2 langfuse entries out (1999 → 1997). Not a bug — ring works as designed — but means old-context retention is bounded. If we care about historical Langfuse traces we need a larger ring OR a separate per-source ring.
+- **[UI Playwright probe found 2 real bugs]** (fixed 2026-04-24): (a) ui/server.ts tryFetch relied on content-type header to decide JSON vs text; observer Bun.serve returns JSON without `application/json` content-type, so stats were strings — UI showed "0 ops" instead of 2000. Fixed: always attempt JSON.parse, fall back to raw text. (b) ui.js renderNodeContext used Object.entries(n.health) which iterates characters on a string — gateway /health returns "lakehouse ok" and the panel showed rows like `0=l, 1=a, 2=k, ...`. Fixed: primitive-vs-object guard. **Both were invisible in functional tests — only a real browser render exposed them.** Worth adding a Playwright smoke test to CI for any future UI changes.
+
+### Iter 1 results
+
+*Populated after scrum finishes.*
+
+## Iteration 2 — queued
+
+**Prompt shape change (from J 2026-04-23):** iter 2+ uses `docs/SCRUM_FORENSIC_PROMPT.md` as the system prompt, replacing the softer iter-1 framing. Adversarial auditor tone with 8 audit passes. Strict JSON output format with `verdict: pass|fail|needs_patch`. If system can't prove itself, verdict is FAIL.
+
+**Scrum pipeline change:** `scrum_master_pipeline.ts` needs an env `LH_SCRUM_SYSTEM_PROMPT` (new) to inject the forensic frame alongside the proposal doc. The file-level loop still asks for suggestions per file but under the 8-pass adversarial lens.
+
+**Goal:** Self-host. Pipeline loads its ladder from `config/routing.toml` via the RoutingEngine that iter 1 wired. If that still isn't loaded, note gap, proceed with hardcoded ladder, flag for iter 3.
+**Target expansion:** beyond `.rs` to `.ts` (tests/multi-agent, auditor/), `.py` (sidecar), `.md` (docs).
+
+## Iterations 3-6 — queued
+
+**Goal:** measure trajectory. Each iteration reduces finding count, raises unit test count, reduces grep-for-fake-markers count. If any iteration doesn't improve, that's the data point.
+
+## Metrics per iteration
+
+Capture after each re-sweep:
+
+- `findings_total` (baseline: 19)
+- `findings_by_severity` (baseline: 3h / 8m / 8l)
+- `phases_partial_count` (baseline: 9)
+- `phases_real_count` (baseline: 25 of 35)
+- `rust_test_count` (baseline: 194+)
+- `gateway_test_fail_count` (baseline: 1 — P38-001)
+- `grep_hits_unimplemented` run: `grep -rEc 'todo!\(\)|unimplemented!\(\)|FIXME' crates/`
+- `grep_hits_pseudo` run: `grep -rEc '\"placeholder\"|\"stub\"|\"mock\"|\"fake\"' crates/`
+
+## Rules for this loop
+
+1. **Cloud-first for every iteration.** Per feedback_scrum_cloud_first.md, strategic review uses 120B+ tier.
+2. **One cross-cutting PR per iteration when possible.** Meta-pattern from audit: identity+auth+access+journal+truth share a pipe. Fix them together.
+3. **Build must be green before next iteration starts.** A broken build is evidence the last iteration regressed, not progressed.
+4. **Log findings to the jsonl as new rows per iteration** with `sweep_id: phase_sweep_2026-04-23-iterN`. Never overwrite prior iteration's findings — the trajectory is the whole point.
+5. **Don't fix things during an iteration.** Every observation goes into "Fix next loop" section above. Next iteration's scrum picks them up.

+# Future Expansion — Advanced System Evolution Layers
+
+Adopted 2026-04-24 from J. The system stops optimizing for task completion. It optimizes for **provable execution, repeatable outcomes, resilience under drift, failure, and adversarial conditions.**
+
+## Layer roster + iteration mapping
+
+| # | Layer | Short form | Target iter |
+|---|---|---|---:|
+| 1 | Counterfactual Execution | Generate synthetic failure variants from each success | iter 5 |
+| 2 | Model Trust Profiling | Per-(model, task_type) success rate → routing weight | **iter 3** |
+| 3 | Execution DNA | Compress successful runs into reusable patterns | iter 4 |
+| 4 | Drift Sentinel | Re-validate historical tasks on a schedule | iter 5 |
+| 5 | Adversarial Injection | Inject poisoned context / malformed outputs / conflicts | iter 6 |

+| 9 | Execution Cost Intelligence | Tokens, iterations, cloud_calls, latency per task | **iter 3** |
+| 10 | Human Override as Data | Capture manual fixes as jsonl rows | **iter 3** |
+
+## Detail (J's original framing preserved)
+
+### 1. Counterfactual Execution Layer
+Simulate alternate failure paths for every successful task. Real Execution → Success → Generate Variations (env, version, inputs) → Simulate Failure Cases → Store Synthetic Failure Signatures. **Purpose:** pre-train against unseen failures before real exposure.
+
+### 2. Model Trust Profiling ← iter 3
+Per-(model, task_type) performance tracking.
+```
+{ "model": "...", "task_type": "...", "success_rate": 0.0, "failure_modes": [], "trust_score": 0.0 }
+```
+**Usage:** route by trust score, adjust validation strictness dynamically, per-model risk budgets.
+
+### 3. Execution DNA (Trace Compression)
+Successful executions → reusable fragments.
+```
+{ "dna_id": "hash", "task_signature": "...", "critical_steps": [], "failure_avoidance": [] }
+```
+Replaces doc retrieval with pattern retrieval; faster convergence on similar tasks.
+
+### 4. Drift Sentinel
+Select Historical Task → Re-run Current Env → Compare → If Failure → Mark Drifted → Trigger Re-learning. Detect silent decay; maintain long-term reliability.
+
+### 5. Adversarial Injection Engine
+Inject malformed outputs / outdated docs / conflicting instructions / poisoned memory. Verify validation catches, execution blocks unsafe actions, memory rejects corrupted data. Build system immunity.
+
+### 6. Permission Gradient Execution ← iter 3
+Confidence-based control replacing binary:
+- confidence ≥ 0.9 → full execution
+- confidence ≥ 0.7 → dry-run + diff
+- confidence ≥ 0.5 → simulation only
+- confidence < 0.5 → block
+Inputs: validation score, model trust score, memory match confidence. Risk-aware control; reduced catastrophic-failure surface.
+
+### 7. Multi-Agent Disagreement Engine
+Planner / Critic / Validator; disagreement triggers more context, bigger model, stricter validation. Disagreement is signal, not noise.
+
+### 8. Temporal Context Layer
+```
+{ "created_at": "ts", "last_validated_at": "ts", "decay_score": 0.0 }
+```
+Retrieval priority: recent + validated + high success rate. Avoid stale knowledge.
+
+### 9. Execution Cost Intelligence ← iter 3
+```
+{ "task": "...", "tokens_used": 0, "iterations": 0, "cloud_calls": 0, "latency_ms": 0 }
+```
+Optimize local vs cloud; reduce unnecessary iterations.
+
+### 10. Human Override as Data ← iter 3
+```
+{ "human_fix": "...", "reason": "...", "task_signature": "...", "validated": true }
+```
+Manual fixes become reusable knowledge.
+
+## Final Principle
+
+Memory is not passive recall. It is operational substrate:
+- failures become structured knowledge
+- successes become reusable execution patterns
+- all outputs are validated before reuse
+
+## System Directive
+
+Not speed. Not convenience. **Correctness. Verifiability. Resilience under change.**

+# Lakehouse systemd units
+
+Service definitions for long-running Lakehouse sidecars that aren't the
+Rust gateway itself. The gateway has its own pre-existing unit
+(`lakehouse.service`) that was configured at initial deploy time and
+isn't tracked here.
+
+## Units
+
+| File | Service | Port | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `lakehouse-auditor.service` | `lakehouse-auditor` | n/a | Polls Gitea for open PRs, runs four checks (static / dynamic / inference / KB query), posts commit-status + review comment. Hard-blocks merges when claims aren't backed. |
+| `lakehouse-context7-bridge.service` | `lakehouse-context7-bridge` | `:3900` | HTTP wrapper around context7's public API for Phase 45 doc-drift detection. |
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+sudo bash ops/systemd/install.sh
+```
+
+Idempotent. Copies units to `/etc/systemd/system/`, reloads, enables + (re)starts both services.
+
+## Operate
+
+```bash
+# Status
+systemctl status lakehouse-auditor
+systemctl status lakehouse-context7-bridge
+
+# Live logs
+journalctl -u lakehouse-auditor -f
+
+# Restart
+systemctl restart lakehouse-auditor
+
+# Stop (won't restart until enable + start again)
+systemctl stop lakehouse-auditor
+```
+
+## Pause the auditor without stopping
+
+```bash
+touch /home/profit/lakehouse/auditor.paused   # skip cycles until removed
+rm    /home/profit/lakehouse/auditor.paused   # resume
+```
+
+## Env toggles on the auditor (edit the unit file, `systemctl daemon-reload`, restart)
+
+```
+LH_AUDITOR_RUN_DYNAMIC=1    # include the hybrid fixture on every audit
+                            # default off — fixture mutates live playbook state
+LH_AUDITOR_SKIP_INFERENCE=1 # skip cloud inference for fast/cheap runs
+```
+
+## Why both services run as root
+
+To match the existing `lakehouse.service` + `mcp-server` + `observer` conventions on this host. Hardening to a dedicated unprivileged user is a follow-up: would need PATH adjustment for `bun`, credential file accessibility (the auditor reads `/home/profit/.git-credentials` which is `0600 profit:profit` — root reads fine, a non-profit non-root user wouldn't).

+
+**Per-finding confidence (required on every suggestion):**
+Attach a self-assessed **Confidence: NN%** to every suggested change AND every gap you list. The percentage is your belief that the suggestion is correct, will compile, and lands the PRD intent. Calibration guide:
+- 90-100%: pattern seen repeatedly in shipped code; change is mechanical; low risk of regressions
+- 70-89%: confident in direction, some room for interpretation on API shape or naming
+- 50-69%: plausible fix but may not match existing conventions or may cascade to other files
+- <50%: genuinely uncertain — include regardless so downstream knows to investigate before applying
+Format each finding as: \`**1.** <change>. **Confidence: NN%.**\` (in tables, add a final "Confidence" column.) Low confidence is valuable signal — do not round up.
